Comment on Can Chromium resist Manifest V3 or is it doomed to disallow adblockers?

Many chromium browser already have inbuilt adblockers that aren’t extensions, so they won’t be affected by MV3. OTOH, MV3 versions of uBO and AdGuard are more than enough for 99.9% of people. So no, nothing will change.

yeah but they are way less powerful than uBlock Origin. I tried just out of curiosity Brave and shields is a crippled uBO.

Try uBO Lite, which is official and MV3. It is very much good enough, it’s just the edges and user-defined filters that aren’t covered. Adblocking possibilities in MV3 have improved a lot, though they obviously still aren’t par and could probably never be par with MV2

that’s what makes uBO better than any other adblocker. I’m not surprised Google wanted to get rid of it.
I’ll stick to Firefox based browsers.

I’m pretty sure ABP also had user-defined filters… I strongly disagree that user defined filters out of all things that makes uBO better. It’s the dedicated filter team, the advanced filter syntax, the memory consumption, the uWall integration…
